As a Christian, it is important to set aside time everyday to be in God’s Word. However, I know that the busyness of life can become an easy excuse to skip quiet times. As 2019 quickly approaches, now is as good a time as ever to make spending time with God a priority. These three 365-Day Devotional Journals are a wonderful way to start. All three of these journals include a page for each day of the year. There is a passage, a short devotional, and several blank lines in which you can record your thoughts.
As the title indicates, Peace Begins With Me is a devotional journal that focuses on instilling inner peace through the pursuit of God. Even the cover, (which is in my daughter’s favorite color), evokes a sense of calm. Life’s circumstances often leave us feeling anything but peaceful. However, being grounded in Scripture can provide us with us with hope and ease our anxieties.
The devotionals in Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus are intended to help the reader to trust Jesus with her life and not to become distracted by everything else that often gets in the way. Each devotion begins with a line from a classic Christian song or hymn and includes a verse and prayer. Just having this book out put the hymn “Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus” in my mind and I found myself humming it throughout the day. Similarly, it is helpful to start your day off with Scripture so that you may be mindful of it even as you do other things.
Finally, The Earth Is the Lord’s and Everything In It serves as a reminder that God’s handiwork is all around us if we take the time to stop and appreciate it. This would be a nice choice for the nature lover in your life. Appreciating His creation draws us closer to Him and is something that we can do every day.
All of these Ellie Claire journals are beautifully bound and provide year-round inspiration, which is something we could all use!
